poor jay carney. he should have had it prepared. i remember the time, it wasn't that long ago, that the classes were obsessed with the idea this president as a candidate wasn't black enough then he was too black. >> right. >> his relationship with african-american voters is fascinating. and it's also at the same time overwrought and in terms of coverage and, frankly, how much more can you say about it? he's got 95% approval. he doesn't need to do this. he does need to do certain other things just on his campaign schedule. so my guess is the honest jay carney answer is there are 20 other things that he can do now and the naacp will be there for him and he knows that and they know that. >> part of that unspoken logic is that the president needs to better connect with white working class voters who are not at the naacp which brings us to michael's piece. michael, you talk about the president on the campaign trail, and the certain patterns have developed in the way that he talks to certain voters. i thought that was really interesting.

at the white house, jay carney got into the act. >> it is an established tradition for presidential candidates to release their tax records. then senator obama did release multiple records. president george w. bush, president clinton. nominees for each party r for years and years and years. >> i'm joined by the policy editor of think progress.org. what is it people think they're going to find? who are folks looking for? >> mostly what folks they they're going to find and what romney confirmed yesterday is that he's paying really low tacks because his money comes from investments. he's not making much in terms of wage money and so he's paying a rate that's around 15% where as the top income tax rate, what lebron james or others who make a lot of money pay is closer to 35. >> some people's eyes glaze over, i'm among them, when it comes to defining what taxes are. but clearly, a 15% tax rate is lower than a lot of middle income people pay. so why is there this disparity? basically, nobody's suggesting there's anything illegal here. it's the way the system is set up. >> the way the tax code is set
